Coinciding with the MONGOOS annual meeting at Split
on November 2016, a Workshop on Mediterranean advanced
modelling has been organized by the MONGOOS modeling working group and by IOF.
The Mediterranean Operational Network for the Global Ocean Observing System (MONGOOS) has been established in 2012 to further develop operational oceanography in the Mediterranean Sea. MONGOOS comprises the previous activities of MOON and MEDGOOS.
MONGOOS is promoting partnerships and capacity building for GOOS in the Mediterranean Sea, creating a continuous working framework with EuroGOOS and GOOS Africa in order to define common roles and activities in the region, fostering collaboration with Black Sea GOOS and global ocean GOOS initiatives.
Objectives of the workshop:
- Review of existing capacities on Mediterranean Circulation Modelling and perspectives
- Evaluation of the down-scaling strategies (off line zooms, 2 way-zooms, up-scaling, unstructured grids…).
- Recent or on-going developments in key processes: (sub)mesoscale structures , convection, ocean-waves- atmosphere interactions, straits dynamics
- Progress biochemical and environ- mental modelling
- Strategies of validation

Operational modelling is now a mature activity in the Mediterranean and Black Sea involving dozen of teams and more than 30 routinely modelling products:

The event will be a scientific workshop on recent progress and strategies on ocean and coastal modelling. Participations of teams not involved in operational oceanography are welcome.
Workshop sessions:
The workshop will be divided in two thematic sessions:
1. Review of existing operational systems: the presentations will be focused on describing the existing systems of the region, with their capabilities, limitations, detected problems and success histories
2. Simulation of processes and technical advances in numerical modelling in the region.
Instructions for contribution submission:
- Abstract (one page max.) must be sent to [email protected]
- 15 minutes presentations + 5 min discussion
- Each author is allowed to send one contribution per session
